Quoted from oldskool1969:

Shame you are not in Western Australia as one just popped up in pretty good condition.

Quoted from Inferno:

There's a decent GI representation in San Pedro CA for $2995. Facebook pinball for sale group has it. I almost thought about picking it up. I know a shipper that will white glove it to the east coast for $500.

Quoted from oldskool1969:

does the entrance to the shells have a good rubber on the right entrance ?
is the ball guide the right height? some thing not quite right, take a bigger shot of area.

Quoted from oldskool1969:

The right ball guide of shells lane looks to be tilted back and not 90deg to the playfield. Is the shell insert flat or can it get launched by that risen.
I have pointed with arrow so you can compare yours to what the manual says. Yours is very bent.

Quoted from robertmee:

Looks to me like your ramp mount is busted so there is no support there. Thus the ramp is probably drooping and the space to the ball guide is too narrow.

Quoted from Inferno:

Linking a tease to a custom sound package I've been working on for about a year.
I watched every episode of Gilligan's Island. Scraped nearly 1000 voice call outs, grabbed hundreds and hundreds more jingles, music clips, and sound effects. Turned all of these original mono recordings into "pseudo stereo" and normalized them. Looped many musical orchestrations, and various songs to create entirely new music for the game.
Call outs now include Mrs Howell, Ginger, and Mary Ann which (sadly) were missing from the original track.
Focus was around both the Kona episode, (which was a tiki God not a volcano) and the jet pack episode. I recreated the Kona interaction to something to be feared Also, random drain, goal and prize call outs from El Presidente, Wrong way, the Japanese Soldier,
head hunters, and a whole lot more. Because of the randomness of PinSound, every game is different.
PinSound studio is powerful, but the recording functions of their software is buggy as hell. The PinSound folder structure for the original soundtrack is absolute crap. I've had to reverse engineer just about everything. Mislabeled folders, unused triggers, leaves me wondering, if anyone has the original OGG files and triggers from the original ROM?
I'd really like to investigate this if anyone has the original audio. Seriously. I'm curious if some of the artifacts (unused trigger folders) in the PinSound library's "Gilligan's island original" folder is conversion garbage, issues with English interpretation, or leftover junk from the original ROM never called in the game ROM.
In the meantime, if you have a PinSound board for your GI, or were thinking about adding one- I'd be happy to share what I have. PM me. Please note this is still a work in progress. I'm still re-orchestrating some of the reward jingles, and a few other sequences. I also realize that I might have gone overboard on a few items, some random stuff doesn't fit exactly, but again, this is a work in progress and I'm sharing the nearly year worth of effort with this community. It's not perfect, but it sure brings the game to life.
...Now if I can just get Tina Louise to sign the backglass... RIP Mary Ann and the rest of the castaways.
Cheers

Quoted from Mank:

Did he keep hitting the 50,000,000 Kona shot over and over or did he complete everything more then once to relight the Kona shot?

Quoted from Inferno:

So, as the island spins during test (when the game is first turned on) the ramp drops and stays down until a ball comes from underneath? I'm assuming the ramp goes up and down in test right?
have you checked the switch that tells the game the ramp is in the up position? You can see it from underneath. Check the linkage also.

Quoted from Inferno:

When you turn on the game the island and ramp cycle through a self test. What is the state of the ramp during this test? Does it ever pop up and down during the self test? Does the game get any error report upon boot?
Did you lift the play field and verify the function? You can also go into switch test mode with the PF up and check the function of the linkage and the ramp switch behavior.
If you are still puzzled
Can you take a video of the ramp behavior during boot sequence?

Quoted from Inferno:

At what point does it lower causing your issue?

Quoted from Inferno:

After watching your vid:
When the pops are firing, does the ramp just fall or is the solenoid pulling it down? You're in test, so I'm assuming it's just falling?
And if it's just falling, is this what's happening randomly during game play?

Quoted from Inferno:

Post some pics. Where'd ya run across it?

Quoted from jamespjackson95:

Hello, the Gilligan's Island I picked up recently has differant length rear legs and front legs... should the legs all be the same length? Where is the best place to pick up new legs?
